<p>I know that Tisch has scholarships for college juniors and seniors (well atleast the film and television department does), but are there are any for entering freshmen?</p>
<p>Yes, there are scholarships for entering freshmen. You will receive your financial aid package and notification of scholarships as well in a couple of weeks. Scholarships come in different amounts. My D's scholarship is given all four years. She is in Tisch Drama.</p>
<p>Does anyone have information about this..
My daughter was invited to accepted students' day in April. (Tisch Drama) We haven't filled out any financial aid forms. Is it too late? Are merit scholarships awarded without financial aid documentation? I believe the deadline has passed for FAFSA. Thanks..</p>
<p>FAFSA deadline is today. So, maybe if you get on line and do it now, you will make it in time. Just a thought.</p>
<p>east coaster - it is my finding that even merit and/or academic scholarships are typically still tied to one's financial need/circumstance at NYU.</p>
<p>That's good to hear! ;)</p>
<p>My daughter is an international student and she has recieved her acceptance today! but no mention of scholarship money, do they notify you of any scholarship money available with your acceptance or does it come later?
thanks!</p>
<p>Acceptance or Invite to Saturday?</p>
<p>Where are you from?</p>
<p>acceptance letter,
she is from Vancouver Canada</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Do you mind PMing or saying here what her SAT/School Marks were like? I know Canadians sometimes get evaluated in different ways because of different cirriculums!</p>
<p>She wrote the same SAT exam, through the college board...
She is a straight A student with 1880 SAT</p>
<p>And thank you...</p>
<p>Great thanks, I'm about the same marks wise but my SAT score was 1750 range.</p>
<p>Good luck to you:)</p>
<p>My daughter's scholarship money came with her acceptance, but I don't know if everyone's does.</p>
<p>It is my understanding that the amount of scholarship money you get is what comes with your formal acceptance letter (not the postcard that invites you to the different events).</p>
<p>Well, that's handy!!! A lot of schools send a formal letter of acceptance and the financial aid stuff follows in a separate mailing. It is my understanding that Tisch awards merit scholarships based on NEED. In other words, they would not, for instance, heap scholarships on a really talented student whose parents' FAFSA shows that said parents can pay for the tuition as is. Is this correct?</p>
<p>NMR, I do NOT believe that is correct. I recall reading on CC over the years, students who were awarded merit scholarships who DID NOT APPLY for financial aid (need based aid). My D DID apply for need based aid. When she won a sizeable scholarship, I inquired about what it was based on as I was unaware at the time that NYU had merit scholarships. I was told that it was a MERIT scholarship but that the AMOUNT of the scholarship, took need into account, thus it was tied. But as I said, some have posted on CC that they got a scholarship and were not a FA applicant. So, for those that ARE a FA applicant, the scholarship amount, if a merit one is offered, may vary depending on the need. But you can win a scholarship with no need presented and never having filed a FAFSA for that matter (according to others who have posted that they got on in such a situation).</p>
<p>NMR - FWIW, although I think that most NYU scholarships are strongly tied to need (in fact most of the ones posted on the NYU website ask for financials one way or another), academic achievement also plays a key role. In some cases other factors such as community service, leadership, and/or being a minority come into play. All this is unlike some other schools where one is able to get a 'talent scholarship' mostly prompted by the audition and regardless of financial need. </p>
<p>Even the girl that received a 20K merit scholarship from NYU earlier this month, and when asked about the nature of the scholarship, said herself it was not a talent scholarship, but one she qualified for because of academic achievement and financial need. You could argue that this is "academic talent" however :D.</p>
